Measures such as previous offences, age, income and drug or alcohol dependency have been used successfully to predict criminal behaviour (Andrews & Bonta, 2003; Blackburn, 1993; Bonta et al., 1998; Webster & Bailes, 2004).

Despite this evidence many violent offenders are still being assessed using professional judgement rather than by actuarial measures (Polaschek)
